The superb-sounding Sennheiser HD 598 offers some of the best sense of space we've heard from $250 headphones.

Few Sennheiser headphones look as eye-catching as the HD 598s. With a cream and brown colour scheme, they stand out clearly from the hundreds of black and grey cans that the market’s stuffed full of – including the new, slightly cheaper HD 558. The materials used in these cans are much the same as its brothers though.
